Accepting next-gen editions

Tomb Raider and Rayman Legends
appear respectively this month and next month on the PlayStation 4 and XboxOne. Games that already came out on Xbox 360 and PS3 last year. Is it really
necessary that they be issued again? At first glance might not, but it's an
understandable action by publishers.

First, it is obviously a
fairly easy way to make money. Of course, Tomb Raider and Rayman Legends are
what tweaked to look more beautiful to see. There will be a new, improved model
of Lara Croft and Rayman Legends is yet to run smoother (though the game was in
our opinion already pretty smooth , but good). However, we do not expect it to
the developer in question more than two drops of sweat cost to manufacture.
These passages Thus resulting in a low cost development, making each copy sold
is a bonus for the publisher.

Although I will not deny that
this is the main goal of next-gen ports for publishers here (for companies is
money always the main goal), there is more to it. It is also simply survive by
quick to be missed. The first year of a console is crucial for a franchise to
experience and to create (with some exceptions). Attendance for himself Lara
Croft and Rayman will now part be the next-gen. And that is very important when
publishers cram a new part. Let's put it this way: by porting to this new generation,
the games of last generation, we are more likely to get new parts of this
series. A nice side effect, especially when it involves such high quality
series.

I also find the comments here
and there actually pretty hypocritical. That struck me especially when the news
about a next-gen version of The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. Now this turns out to be
fake (though I believe that only next-gen Skyrim does not exist when the next
part is on my doorstep, but that aside), but below the message was half the
responses quite negative. Invent something new, we already played that kind of
comments. Meanwhile, of course, Bethesda is working on something new. Of
course, many of you have this game already from front to back and then played
back. But would not it be nice, especially for console-only gamers, to play him
in the highest possible settings Or that people who do not yet have now started
there yet to get to work?

Why do I find such reactions
hypocritical? When it comes to the long-awaited next-gen port of Grand Theft Auto 5, everyone stands in line. Ah, GTA 5 on the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One,
yes, we like! Do want We draw no doubt once again for our wallets. Logically,
of course, I probably. But you can imagine that some gamers that have in other
games. I would like to once again pay for a Rayman Legends of Skyrim (please,
Bethesda!). I am a sucker who first lured by a publisher in the trap is?
Absolutely not. I as a consumer can still think for myself and vote with my
wallet. I suggest you do the same.
